Am feeling more depressed this morning than I have any right to be. Maybe it's the rain?
Let's see. What's been going on?
1) The hiring manager for that new position is out on vacation all week, so I haven't been able to talk to her. I've been feeling guilty over thinking about leaving this job (yes, I know I shouldn't, but I was raised to do guilt so well...) Basically every time I make my boss laugh, I feel a little worse.
2) Lesson learned. Don't pick the Mermer up and give her a big cuddle 'cause it's been days since you've subjected her to a cuddle. Or, at least, don't do this as you're walking back into the bathroom to fetch the glasses you think you may have left on the shelf in the shower. I've never given Mer a bath, but she knows what a bathtub is, and it doesn't help that I have a perpetually slow drain, so I'm leaning forward over a couple inches of water near-sightedly searching for my glasses while clutching a big, suddenly panicky cat who thinks she's about to be dropped in. O_O
I'm so lucky her claws weren't out when she shoved her paws in my face with all her might.
3) Dad's truck kept stalling out on me yesterday. There's something wonky with its idle. Probably nothing serious, but geez, haven't we had enough already? (And Mom's car got a flat tire yesterday...)
4) I think I've got a good feel for what I want to do with that fic now. Just have to buckle down and write it. Oh, and try to find a way to tread that fine line between "bizarre, but plausible" and "total monkey crack."
